In fact, The Weeknd's second South Florida gig of 2012 was announced this morning.

Last year, Tesfaye dropped House of Balloons, his first mixtape. Shortly before the release, though, fellow Canadian Drake helped generate buzz by posting a line from "Wicked Games" to his Twitter.

"Bring your love baby I could bring my shame," Drizzy tweeted, exposing millions of his followers to a mysterious dude with an unapologetically honest flow.

The record lived up to the hype, scoring high praise from Pitchfork and Complex, among others. And a month later, The Weeknd followed House of Balloons with Thursday and then his latest, Echoes in Silence, in December 2011.
